To begin, one player is chosen to be "it". That player thinks of a target word, which can be any word. Then "it" gives all other players a one-word hint. The hint must not include, or be a variant of, the target word. (For instance, if the target word was "doghouse", hints such as " houses" or " doggy" would be illegal, but "puppy" would be legal.)
Each other player in turn attempts to guess the target word. If no player guesses correctly, "it" continues giving one-word hints until a player says the target word. That player becomes "it" for the next round.

Ludden returned as host of Password Plus, but illness forced him off the show in 1980. Bill Cullen substituted for a month, and Tom Kennedy finished out the run of Password Plus. Ludden died in 1981.

A commercial version of Password was first introduced in 1962, and many versions have been released since then. Some boxed sets attempted to simulate a particular television version.
The theme song used on Password in 1961-1962 is called "Holiday Jaunt" by Kurt Rehfeld. The 1963-1967 version was composed by Bob Cobert, and a later version "Bicentennial Funk" was composed by Score Productions.
